You need to do phone Activation
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html
Start with a step first, if it does not, go to step 2. Telephone activation.
9. If the automated Service is unsuccessful
(A) if the activation service informs you that she has failed and cannot help with activation, then STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to an operator of activation which will help you to activate your copy of Vista. The operator will give you all the numbers to ID of Confirmation if they accept that your copy of Vista is legitimate.
NOTE: The operator just explain your situation and what you did to require activation. (EX: hardware upgrade, installed Vista on a new computer after uninstalling it from the old one, etc...)

Hey MyLady2k
He was and is a system of licensing of windows = one installation of windows operating
one license = one facility
You can be confusing with office of certificates according to the type of license of office that was purchased

You can try amazon.com or ebay, etc.

Activation error: product already in use key
I changed my HDD may because old hard drive has been courupted he did reverse what it self and ask me to change the hard drive now, I changed the hard drive. It's been more than a year I m using windows vista, but suddenly microsoft request the activation of the product... I did several times but nothing happens again n it asks again for the activation of the product and when I give the activation code it tells me that it is in respect of the use. now, the deadline has passed n my computer restarts with the same product activation window I entered the key, but displays the error code. I also noticed that my computer restarts every one to two hours. I'm very confused m help please thanks...
You have to manually enable. This issue of reactivation occurs from time to time (in fact rarely) but there is nothing to worry.
To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter. Enter your country and press Next. You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below. Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being. Have your handy product code because it will be asked. Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC. They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

I AM RECIVING A MESSAGE THAT SAYS PRODUCT KEY ALREADY USED?
I HAVE PURCHED DESKTOP OF A RENTED PLACE CLEAN, IT CAME WITH WINDOWS VISTA INSTALLED AND THE PRODUCT KEY, JUST NO DISC. I FOUND A VISTA ULTIMATE ON CREGSLIST AND PURCHED, AS IT CAME WITH KEY PRODUCT AND THE DISC. I'M WORKING THROUGH SEVERAL PROBLEMS OF MINORR I'VE ACCUMULATED. AND NOW I'M RUNNING IN THIS 'PRODUCT KEY YOU TYPED IS ALREADY USED' - WHY? AND WHAT DO I DO?
Hello
Use the control below see if it is authentic or not
http://www.Microsoft.com/genuine/validate/
and this problem is with the software of craigslist, you bought separately and not from the desktop computer with vista installed on it read the information below
you bought a desktop computer with vista installated BUT with no disc to reinstall vista
BUT you don't have the correct product key for this office on the envelope
Follow these tips to reinstall vista
Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

Cannot activate Windows 8 error key is already used by another pc.
OT: Product key Windows 8.
Hi, so I bought windows 8 pro a year ago and installed on my laptop but I recently bought a new desktop computer and gave my laptop to my sister. She didn't so I put windows 7 on the laptop for her and went to put windows 8 on my windows desktop 8. It installed fine but when I go to activate windows it says that the key is already used by another pc. Why he says this when the computer that I had windows 8 is no longer a windows 8?
You use telephone activation. The database of activation of Microsoft still has your old laptop, saved using the key of Windows 8.

upgrade-actvation key already used?
This is the second major time an application reads the instructions oddly. I do not understand:, why is the function of upgrade recommending a new key request when he quite sure that I already use the button turned on? This update was to iron out the problems and recommended by the windows magazines. The reinstallation of the operating system first asked me for the key, and then when it was installed - so is not the same tone? How can I go about it that "this copy of windows is not genuine" is not the truth of the issue.help.
